111 Minna Gallery 111 Minna; 974-1719. Tues-Fri, 1-7 pm; Sat, 4-7pm. "Lost and Found." Every winter the rain floods Christopher A. Ruess's Oakland studio. He takes it in stride, however, and even finds artistic inspiration in the water and decay. A surfer and nature lover, he relishes all kinds of natural processes, even when they interfere with urban life. Ezra Li Eismont, Ruess's friend and art-project collaborator, has developed a unique style heavily influenced by graffiti art and his industrial surroundings. The two of them traded a series of wooden door panels back and forth over the past few months, each one painting and layering new collage pieces over the other's work. The results  28 mixed-media panels in all  are amazingly coherent, combining Ruess's soft, organic naturalism and Eismont's hard urban edges into a compelling synthesis of form and style. "Lost and Found" also includes almost 20 individual works by each artist, including one of Ruess's scrapbooks, which gives what feels like a very private insight into his working processes. Through Sat/15.(Westbrook)
